Billy Joel Cross To Bear Lyrics

Well I know you got your troubles,
But I’ve got problems of my own.
It’s all relative you see,
What happiness should be;
And we got to work it out alone.

I know about your situation,
And I know all about your pain;
But you know it’s true,
Though it’s no comfort to you-
Into each life must fall some rain.

We all have our cross to bear.
We all walk in darkness sometimes.
Though I know it don’t seem fair,
We all have our cross to bear.

You know I hate to see you cry,
I hate to see you cry now,
Because I had my share of tears.
And though it may sound cruel,
you know I’d be a fool
To let it slide a few more years.

(Listen)

I just got to have my freedom
And if that’s giving you the blues:
That's the price you pay, Lord,
There ain’t no other way,
But to get down on your knees and pay your dues.
‘Cause don’t you know...

We all have our cross to bear
We all knuckle under sometimes
Oh, everybody gets his share
We all have our cross to bear

Oh, I've just got to have my freedom,
And if that’s giving you the blues:
Well, that's the price you pay, Lord,
There ain’t no other way
But to get down on your knees and pay your dues
‘Cause don’t you know...

We all have our cross to bear
We all walk in darkness sometimes
Oh, everybody gets his share, mmm,
‘Cause we all have our cross to bear
